To tH Editor Of ne AatehGaleH.
sGR;-In your Issue Of to-day Rev,
George E. Hite, Presiding Elder Of the NJ.
L. Church, in his ba~CCsIsureate address,
saw tt to make q reckless attack on the
Catholic Church in the following words
"ThRnk God, such has been the progress
OF human liberty that no hierRrChgl des.
pOtism, no ecclesiastical tyranny dare
reach out Its iron hand and throttle libOr-
ty, civil or religious. No modern Calico

Eatlon that has ever and does now rob ita
communicates Of every vestiSe OF liberty,
whether Of thought or conscience"
It doeg seem strange that some minis
ters Of religion imagine that they cannot
DO Justice to any subject on which they
arc called upon TO speak without more or
less Claptrap about The Catholic Church.
Did Rev. MI. Hit6 take 1t Tor granted
that his educated audience were ready to
approve any violent attack which he
might see lit to make-to believe any
gratuitous chargeswhich no might prefer
II he is intelligent lie ought to know
that an honest and intelligent audience
would not be satisfied with mere asaer-
tons, but would want sufficient proofs, at
least when injury to Others Ia in question.
Ifhe was not able t Hiye such proofs land
the fact Is he is not) he should have 70.
mem5ered that even his p~oBition Us Pre-.
siding Elder did not justify him in vio-
lating one OF the ten commandments,
"Thou shalt not bear false witnaas against
thy neighbor." The writer OF this com.
muniCation does not undertakes defense
otths Catholic church, but simply, In &C.
cordance with q rule oflogiC, we'll known
by tyroa in that science, "a gratuitous
assertion may be gr~atuitously denied" to
deny IN toto the Wholesale, reckless and
malicious assertions Of Rev. Mr.. Hite.
The charges are, first, that the Catholic
church is hostile to tho progress Of science.
Second, that she robs her communicates
Of every vestige OF liberty, whether of
thought or conscience. Third, that she
is q politico-ecclesiRstiCal organization.
Come, Nj, Hite, prove your assertions
II you can, II not, as an honorable man
las q Presiding Elder should be) retrsct
them. READER.
